Within each incident, there are stories of extraordinary bravery and compassion as well as the factors that led to the deadly day. From Aurora to Orlando, the powers of storytelling and filmmaking inspire a new narrative about the mass shooting epidemic, where dialogue can supplant debate, and where the lives and loss of the victims can be felt by the audience to offer a new appreciation for the gravity of this pandemic and the urgent need to confront it.
